Hawaiin Haystacks

Per request, I am posting my Mom's Hawaiin Haystack recipe. As a time saver, she recommends getting chickens from Costco, de-boning them, and shredding the meat. She estimates that one Costco chicken can serve 10 people.

Put each of the following into its own serving dish:
Cooked rice
Cooked chicken, shredded
Diced celery
Diced tomatoes
Sliced Green onions
Shredded cheese
Shredded carrots
Pineapple tidbits (canned)
Mandarin oranges (canned)
Shredded coconut
Nuts of your choice
Crunchy chow mein noodles.

Prepare one or both of the following sauces:

Sweet & Sour Sauce:
1 cup reserved pineapple juice + water
1/3 cup vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp cornstarch or potato starch

Curry Sauce:
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can coconut milk
1 Tbsp flour
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp salt

Start the haystacks with the rice, let individuals pile their haystacks with whatever ingredients they enjoy, and then ladle one of the sauces on top of the haystack. Mmmm.......
